Based on what evdience  actually shows that If he had a different Devil Arm, he could have reawaken his DT still? You're just saying "oh it can be". That's speculation,  How? What evidence show this? None. We can go one forever with various inferences. Fact of the matter is: For two character, the Devil Arms created by Sparda reacted to their bloodline and unleashed latent power for both. One sword is even described to be the embodiment of Dante's power and reacted to his very own blood. Another character is in the family and fixed the sword, someone even a renown and smart scientist couldn't do.

He had Agni and Rudra and Cerebus at least. Those didn't react. Rebellion did. And gave him the ability to use DT period. Sure, he can change around and based on a Devil Arm in DMC1 and use their abilities but the fact Rebelltion awaken it was not something other Devil Arms could simply do despite him having other available. They're not connect to Dante like Rebellion is, in which is a physical manifestation of his power. Therefore, HE HAS A CONNECTION TO IT!

Even If Sanctus actually had somehow connected with the blade, I didn't see him fix that blade. If he could, he would have. Agnus couldn't. Nero did. There's something there no one else has. HE HAS A CONNECTION TO IT!

Who knows how Devil Arms work work. However, with Rebellion, Dante has a unique connection to it. How else does it react to his blood by being awaken? He killed Demons with it and It didn't awaken the blade. The minute his blood was spilled on it, it awkaened. The minute Nero was in a near death situation, the blade fixed itself and went to Nero specifically. They have a connection to it, regardless If DT is/isn't required by it or the fact that other people can use it.
